Goblin Musicians - 77567

24 posts in this topic

These are the goblin musicians from Bones 3. They are still a little shiny because it has been raining like mad here so they have not had their spritz of Dulcote.

They have tiny little eyes but they were so fun to paint. I made the little stool goblin be rolling his eyes upwards. He hates his job. The drum carrier is pouting. You know how when you get a song stuck in your head? So does he! He also hates his job. The drummer LOVES his job and gleefully bangs on his drum all day!

I think the issue with blue goblins is the vague resemblance to Smurfs.

I don't have a problem with blue goblins. Pathfinder art has some blue-gray-purplish ones. And I think there have been arctic goblins in some novel or bestiary at some time (I think they populate the Land of the Linnorm Kings).

I am impressed with the eye work you achieved on these little buggers....nice.

Thank you! They do have teeny little eyes!

Lovely!

I think if you can pull off those eyes you can pull off the tattoo.

Thanks! I might have to give it a try.

How tough are ya?

I don't know - maybe a decal might be of use for you?

Ha! Hadn't considered a chest tattoo. Was thinking an arm. If I try it, I'll try with paint. Goblins don't write so it may just be a heart with an arrow.

I see you also gave the stool goblin the dignity of a large loincloth.

The sculptor did that! No goblin tushies!

You've painted these admirably!

So I definitely shouldn't do blue with white loincloth and boots then? Good thing goblins are grubby and I don't think they could keep white clean!

Knocked these out last night. Was a nice quick speed paint so I could get to doing the cultists. Needed something for them to stand around on the shelf. Used Dwarven Gold on the writing and the pics don't show that lovely peachy gold lustre from the paint.
